This Bangladeshi dance troupe will present a dance drama based on rural life in Bangladesh—combining drama and song with narrative in English. The Nakshi Kanthar Math (The Field of the Embroidered Quilt) by poet Jashimuddin Ahmed will be staged. This is a tragic love story of a village boy Rupa and a village girl Shaju, which reflects rural Bengali culture.
